All in a days work....really good video

Out alone, and back in with people aboard.

Strange for me because we have no rivers like that straight into the ocean between a rocky shore.

Real good video:

Pontoon? Not the same as "we" in Florida call a Pontoon boat, that's for sure.

Pontoon? Not the same as "we" in Florida call a Pontoon boat, that's for sure.

We started the idea back in the 80's when our founder was asked to build an alloy 'rubber ducky' for local abalone divers. Now we do enough a year to be NZ's biggest trailerboat manufacturer. Most are exports but here in NZ you could see 1 in three boats a Stabicraft at a boat ramp. Ive seen 1 in 2 over an hour a competition.

That boat is a copy of one of our first designs. There are plenty of guys making them in sheds here and in Aus. There aren't too many imitators in the States. We worked with ACB before they were ACB on the designs and manufacture in the US the rest is history... We will be manufacturing in the US again

Up in the NW we are hoping for 75 sales (all exports sold through dealers) this year and there are couple of users on here with them. If you haven't tried one they are worth a go. I haven't met an owner yet that wouldn't offer a ride to someone. Like your Pacific owners, there is good pride of ownership.

Allright Tim!! My neighbor has a Stabi and LOVES it!! It is a very cool, and VERY seaworthy boat.

Dave I would love it if you could take some shots and post them on here (with permisson from your neighbor)
I have a sweet spot for the old girls like Polywave's ACB.

I'll check with the guys to see if they remember you neighbors boat.

That one in Dave's post did it's job. Ugly as sin but a work horse never the less. Bayside Marine in Everett WA is the Local Dealer. You build some small usable boats. Looked at them at the Seattle Boat show as well. You guys had those High end rod holders.

I saw my first ACB in AK back around 2007... was on the inside of the dock we used for the Cruise West small ship. It caught every ones attention that knew anything about boats. Saw another one on American Lake near Fort Lewis, WA. Capt PJ

You build some small usable boats.

We launched two 34 footers last year. One with two 735hp Volvo's testing a new form of jet unit. Very hush hush. Very cool.

Before the boss even knows I'll tell you, we just got an order for a 28 foot Pilot House for the NW.
The dealer wants it by December so we will start the build no later than August. We heard it was coming but the old saying about counting eggs... We have already decided to follow the build internally so I will be able to walk you through the gear we use and how we build them.

We do around ten 28 foot hulls a year but this will be our first on this hull with a forward facing cabin (we did a 30 a few years back)


Our little-uns still our bread and butter but the big ones are more memorable.
